**Matter** - Anything that takes up space and has mass. - **Volume -** the amount of space that a substance or object occupies - **Solid** - State of matter with a definite shape and volume. - **Liquid** - State of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape. - **Gas** - State of matter with no definite shape or volume. - **Density** - Mass per unit volume of a substance. - **Temperature** - Measure of heat energy in a substance. - **Expansion** - Increase in volume when particles move apart. - **Contraction** - Decrease in volume when particles move closer together. - **Solution** -- A liquid mixture where the solute is evenly dissolved in the solvent (e.g., saltwater) - **Solute** -- The substance that is dissolved in a solution. (e.g., salt in saltwater) - **Solvent** -- The substance that dissolves the solute. (e.g., water in saltwater) - **Solubility** -- The ability of a substance to be dissolved in a solvent (e.g., salt has a high solubility in freshwater) - **Insoluble - **A substance that cannot dissolve in a particular solvent - **Saturated** - A solution that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute that it can
